You know her from hit movies like Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Quiz Show and Mighty Aphrodite. Now, Mira Sorvino is back on the big screen in a funny fairy tale that finds her masquerading as a man. The movie is called, "The Triumph of Love". In it, she plays a princess trying to restore her homeland's throne to its rightful heir... a young prince who she happens to love. The story is actually centuries old, based on a French play written in the 1700's. 190 host Janet Davies got a chance to sit down and talk with Sorvino about the film and her life.
